INSTRUCTOR
A firm believer there is an artist, maker, and storyteller in everyone, Allen Morris’ goal as an educator is to help students find the best way to tell their stories through creative processes. His favorite moments are when they do! Allen’s own work focuses on the relationship between humans and their environments. He is also a huge fan of printmaking and bookmaking. When not in the studio, he is exploring the landscape in search of inspiration or baking sourdough bread. Allen earned his MFA from University of Nebraska-Lincoln and is Assistant Professor at Black Hills State University.
